Cutting Semiconductor Materials – Precision for the Electronics Industry

The semiconductor industry works with materials that are both extremely valuable and highly sensitive. Silicon, quartz, sapphire, or gallium arsenide are used in wafers, substrates, and specialized components. Their processing requires the utmost precision to avoid compromising the functionality of the parts.

Challenges in Semiconductor Materials

  • Sensitivity to mechanical stresses

  • Risk of microcracks or thermally induced stresses

  • High quality requirements for surfaces

  • High material costs – every millimeter counts

The DRAMET Solution

Our fine-grit, diamond-coated saw bands deliver smooth, chip-free edges at minimal cutting pressure. Kerfs of only 0.16–0.35 mm significantly reduce material loss. NC control and process monitoring ensure reproducible results – ideal for series production.

Suitable Machines

  • 200 Series – for small, delicate workpieces in laboratories and prototype production

  • 270 Series – flexible and automatable for medium-scale series

  • 400 Series – powerful for larger wafer carriers or quartz plates

Conclusion

With DRAMET diamond band saws, you achieve maximum precision, minimal material loss, and reproducible quality in semiconductor processing.
